    2 results which would have repaid a lifetime's labour. Honestly, skilfully, and perseveringly, he has ' interrogated ' Nature. When she will not answer his question in one shape, he puts it in another. When her answers are such as he either cannot interpret or cannot reconcile with his own hypothesis, he fairly records them.—Medical Times and Gazette. There is no better monograph on the subject in our language.—Half- Yearly Abstract of Medicine. Dr. Pavy has a right to claim from the profession a careful hearing on the subject he deals with It is the production of an earnest worker and an original and conscientious observer.—British Medical Journal. We can commend this book to the practitioner, as one not merely com- piled, but expressing the experience of honest clinical study, well written, readable, and thoroughly scientific.—Practitioner. The views of Dr. Pavy on a most difficult subject are extremely original, and well deserving the careful attention of the scientific physician.—Mft/zca/ Press and Circular. The experiments by which he [Dr. Pavy] attained his object were repeated, and varied, and checked and counterchecked by so many ingenious devices, that his conclusions may, to our thinking, be accepted, as having been demonstrated in a manner as nearly perfect as any physiological fact can be. The pathological aspect of the subject is investigated by our author with the same ingenuity and original powers of research that he exemplifies in following up the physiological views of the subject. . In conclusion, we are thankful for this book. . . . • We believe that the extensive diffusion of the views which it contains will not only tend to give a higher tone to the general doctrines of physiology, but will, from their suggestive character, aid powerfully the advancement of practical medicine.—Glasgow Medical Journal. The author of the book before us is already familiar to every physiologist and practical man as well by his original researches on the subject ot glyco- genesis, as his observations on the pathology and treatment of the disease under consideration. Dr. Pavy may with ti-uth be considered as the best and most recent authority on diabetes, entering as he does almost exhaustively into all the particulars of the subject, and being thoroughly acquainted with the latest experinients at home and abroad.—Siuarterly Journal oj Medical Science.
